| The Spoils of Babylon | comment |
In 1976, noted author Eric Jonroshnote Author-Producer-Actor-Writer-Director-Raconteur-Bon Vivant-Legend-Fabulist, among many other descriptions. embarked on an ambitious three-year quest to film his sprawling best-seller, The Spoils Of Babylon. The project was ultimately abandoned as the initial running time was over 22 hours. That is until an older, burnt-out Jonrosh was convinced to agree to a severely truncated re-edit of two hours, and is now finally releasing his masterpiece for the world to see.Okay, in reality, The Spoils of Babylon is an IFC miniseries created by former SNL writers Andrew Steele & Matt Piedmont that parodies classic television soaps such as Dallas, and miniseries based off Doorstopper novels such as The Thorn Birds. The plot concerns the birth of a large corporation, Morehouse Conglomerated, and the drama over the Morehouse family who runs it. Rivalries, vendettas, and forbidden semi-incestuous love affairs abound. The story is framed by the twisted narrative of Eric Jonrosh (Will Ferrell), an old burnt-out author/actor who wrote the fictional Spoils Of Babylon novel in-universe.Followed up by a spinoff, The Spoils Before Dying, based on another fictitious Eric Jonrosh novel. With the theme of a detective noir and Jonrosh's failed attempts at Beatnik slang, Dying focuses on Rock Banyon, (Michael K. Williams) a Jazz pianist framed for the murder of Fresno Foxglove (Maya Rudolph) who has to clear his name. | |

Creator Cameo: In Babylon, Jonrosh shows up as The Shah of Iran, in scenes clearly filmed separately from everyone else. In Dying, Will Ferrell (unknown if played by Jonrosh in-universe) shows up as J. Edgar Hoover. | |

Actor Allusion: One of the shticks of the series is that the actors are playing actors, who in turn are playing the characters in the In-Universe epic 70's miniseries. One example is Jellybean Howie as Gumdrop Howard as Marianne Morehouse. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| The Spoils of Babylon / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: Pretty much the series' raison d'etre. It's full of Bad "Bad Acting"note Some rather strange and comical lines are delivered entirely straight, including bizarre forays into Shakespearean monologues in some scenes, deliberate examples of Special Effects Failurenote The exteriors and many driving scenes are rather obvious, ranging from sets where the footage in the back is repeating, establishing shots being obvious miniatures and some driving scenes simply being toy cars dragged with strings and an entire part played by a mannequin voiced by Carey Mulligannote Yeah, we have no explanation for this one. | |

Ambition Is Evil: An intended message of Eric Jonrosh's story. Jonas Morehouse is willing to give up the profit and success that comes with a huge oil conglomerate by switching to a more environmentally friendly technology. Similarly, Devon Morehouse abandons Morehouse Conglomerated while Cynthia and Devon become drunk on their own ambition and feed the Military Industrial Complex. | |

| The Spoils of Babylon / int_dce448d | comment |
Reduced to Ratburgers: Prior to striking oil, the Morehouse household survives on canned squirrel stew. While there's nothing improbable about someone eating the meat of small rodents, the fact that the squirrel meat still has the fur on it as they are eating it gives it a surreal quality. | |

Jerkass: Eric Jonrosh is an alcoholic, pretentious weirdo who's prone to sexual harassment, and may have murdered someone he loved on a drug trip... as well as many more. | |

Product Placement | |
| The Spoils of Babylon / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In Babylon, Bagpipes O'Toole vodka is name-dropped. In Dying, the film stops in its tracks to advertise Boghei French-Like Cigarettes, Bagpipes O'Toole scotch-flavored vodka, biscuits, and even clothes from a catalog! | |

Overcomplicated Menu Order | |

Overcomplicated Menu Order: "The Age of the Bastard". While Devon cannot get a vegetarian option at the steakhouse that somehow fits in the tiny submarine, Cynthia's order just gets more and more complicated. | |
